Treasures in the trash: the amazing things New Yorkers throw away | Guardian Culture

The second floor of a Department of Sanitation garage in East Harlem is home to thousands of objects New Yorkers have thrown away over the last three decades. The items were found in the trash, but look nothing like garbage. They have been carefully organized and kept by sanitation worker Nelson Molina.

The Treasure in the Trash Museum, as he calls it, is an impressive collection of objects that Molina and some of his coworkers found during their daily job. 'We are not allowed to take stuff home,' Molina told the Guardian's Ana Terra Athayde, 'That's why I like to display and everything.'
